Sun has agreed to purchase Innotek! If you were wondering  why Sun is acquiring yet another company with a different virtualization technology when it already offers a very comprehensive portfolio in the form of LDOMs, xVM & Containers, just take a look at the markets they address!  LDOMs is for our highly mutlithreaded, multicore Niagara line of processors, xVM for x86 based processors and Containers for OS based software virtualization!  VirtualBox is targeted at desktops and doesn't offer all the functionality of a server grade virtualization technology like LDOMs or xVM.

But what it does offer is a very wide range of OS support and some really cool features for developers! Just click on the link and check out all the things that might interest you.

And the icing on the cake - it is Free and Open! Now how about that for talking the talk and walking the walk? ;-)
